The republic initially kept the green flag with the crescent and
three stars of the kingdom but later
replaced it with a red-white-black horizontal tricolour like today,
but with a different style of eagle emblem in the white stripe,
bearing a shield of the crescent and stars.

Whitney Smits writes on p. 153 of 'Flags
Through The Ages and Across The World": 'This 1923 design (green flag with
crescent and stars) was not replaced by a modern tricolor until some years after
the 1952 revolution that overthrew the monarchy (i.e. King Farouk). Nevertheless
the red-white-black Liberation Flag of the revolution was extensively flown
alongside the national flag, often with the state arms added. These consisted of
a representation in gold of the eagle of Saladin."
